During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/), we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/shelby+gt500/). In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com (http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/2015-s550-mustangs-419/983313-2015-gt350-confirmed.html) has confirmed reports (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/06/21/next-shelby-mustang-to-wear-gt350-nameplate/) that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/shelby+gt350/) name back to Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/).

According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/shelby+american/). As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/07/26/shelby-gt350-ends-production-2013/).

The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/new-york-auto-show/). We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/09/27/ford-musting-gt350-first-spy-video/).More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350 (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/17/more-evidence-gt500-replacement-named-gt350/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Tue, 17 Dec 2013 19:01:00 EST.

I'm still hoping for "Boss 351" since the GT500 engine is a 5.8.
